Import Tips
• Document VHS mechanism integration explicitly; U.S
• Customs may require test reports proving recording functionality
• Label as 'incomplete - no display device' to prevent upgrade to finished monitor duties under 8528.49.15
• Check for FCC compliance on video recording components to avoid detention; pitfall is undocumented analog signal processing
